Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July '7, 1914.

Application led March 5, 1912. Serial No. 681,815.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ILLIAM L. DALY, a citizenof the United States, residing at Schenectady, in the county ofSchenectady and State of New York, have invented new and usefulImprovements in Refrigerating- Pails, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to ice-cream pails and has for an object toprovide a device of this character which will be simple in construction,strong and durable, and which will be adapted to preserve the ice-creamand keep the same in a frozen state for a considerable length of time.

Another object of the invention is to provide an ice cream pail whichwill include outer and inner receptacles which are spaced from eachother so that a refrigerant such as ice can be effectively made toentirely surround the inner receptacle, and confined in such manner aswill prevent the ice from entering the inner receptacle.

Another object of the invention is to provide a pail wherein the innerand outer vessels are so connected with each other that one materiallyacts to reinforce the other.

ln the drawing forming a portion of this application and in which likeletters of reference indicate similar parts in the several views:-Figure 1 is a perspective view of the pail showing a door of thevessel open. Fig. 2 is a vertical section through the pail.

The pail comprises an outer vessel 1 which may be constructed of anysuitable wellknown material which may be found most desirable for thepurpose intended, and as illustrated the said pail is provided with afixed bottom 2 and a removable top cover 3. The cover is stamped from asingle piece of metal and it is struck up to present a dependingportion. 4 whose peripheral walls are adapted to contact with the wallsof the vessel 1 as clearly shown in Fig. 2.

The inner vessel 5 is horizontally disposed within the vessel 1. Thisvessel is of rectangular conliguration and at one end it is open and itswalls are extended through an opening in the outer vessel, the walls ofsaid inner vessel having formed thereon suitable attaching flanges 6which are riveted or otherwise suitably secured to the walls of the saidouter vessel. One of the vertical flanges 6 of the inner vessel isprovided with hinge knuckles 7 which are associated with similar hingeknuckles 8 upon one of the vert-ical walls of the swinging door 9. Thisdoor carries a suitable clasp 10 which is designed tovengage with thekeeper 11 upon the vessel 1 whereb-y the door may be held closed. A cap12 having side flanges 13 and a top flange 14 is secured to the verticalwalls and the top wall of said vessel 5. The said cap is provided withan integral brace 15 which extends downward in the direction of thebottom 2, being secured to the latter as at 16. The said brace 15 isfolded on itself as at 17 to present a flange similar to thehereinbefore described flanges 13 and 14. rllhis flange 17 serves tomaterially reinforce the device and to sustain the weight of the vessel5. Excepting for the front of the vessel 5 the walls thereof are spacedfrom the walls of the vessel 1 so that a refrigerant such as ice may bepacked around the inner vessel. In this manner the walls of the vessel 5are so subjected to the refrigerating ac* tion of the ice that thecontents of the said vessel 5 may be stored for a considerable length oftime.

The pail described, while being particularly desirable for use in theshipment of small quantities of ice cream may be made of any size as maydepend upon the use to which it is to be put. For the purpose ofconvenience the pail herein shown is provided with a bail 18 whereby thedevice can be conveniently carried from place to place. lt is to beappreciated, that, with the construction described one is permitted toquickly and conveniently remove the contents of the inner vessel 5without disturbing the surrounding ice.

lf claim A refrigerating pail comprising an outer vessel having a fixedbottom and a removable cover, the said receptacle having an opening atone side, an inner vessel extending into the outer vessel and throughthe opening and provided at its inner end with CII a Cap, a bracesecured to the bottom of the outer Vessel and forming an integral partof said cap, and t swinging closure mounted exteriorly of the outerVessel and closable In testimony whereof I afiX my signature vinpresence oi two Witnesses.
